My Profile

Had a nice Day at Green Island/Great Barrier Reef. Great Barrier Reef was awesome. Trip was just the right length. Only thing that wasn't so great was the food...lunch but the company did a sufficient job considering the number of people they had to feed.

Was glad to be able to prepay for the Aquarium Ticket, but don't think the aquarium is worth the money they charge for admittance. Been to seeveral before and this was very average. Nothing to write home about.

Driver/tour guide irritated me within the first 45 minutes on the bus. I did the tour alone and at the last pickup he approached me, put me on the spot and asked me to move and sit with a strange man and give up my seat for a couple. I felt embarassed and gave up my window seat to sit in an aisle seat with someone else. The guide, Jose, apparently thinks that's it's okay to inconvenience a single person traveling alone vs a couple who got on the bus last. I was irritated the whole entire way to Keywest. Not only was I upset because I was unable to take photos from the window seat but at how calous I felt he was about asking me to move as not to inconvience the couple. I paid the same money for the tour as they did. Anyway, I did not let it taint the whole trip siince I did not have to deal with him for the 5 hours or so that I was in Keywest. However, next time I will save myself the aggravation and go ahead and drive like I first planned to do. It's the principle.

The Hop On-Hop Off Trolley Tour was great and well worth the money. The trolley cars were very busy because of the holiday weekend, but the drivers kept their cool and sense of humor and made the tour enjoyable.

The tour itself was great, the guide was nice and very knowledgeable. The downside was the uncomfortable small bus we were on..cramped and no overhead space to place personal items during the full day tour.

Enjoyed the Luau. This was my 3rd or 4th time going to Germaine's Luau. I feel that it's the best choice because of the value you get for your money. Luaus are expensive, but this one gives you a larger selection of food and you get more adult beverages than some of the others.
